MIAA meet in Joplin

The Mid-America Athletic Association meet is going on in Joplin this weekend. The multis got under way yesterday and all other events get underway today and tomorrow.
The MIAA is one of the best NCAA DII conferences in the country and has some phenomenal athletes and teams. This a great opportunity to see some great track.

I have to agree 100% with Auck! The MIAA is a very competitive D2 conference. Coach Vavra, Coach Rutledge, Coach Schiding, and Coach Burnham from Missouri Southern has done a great job hosting this meet! Coach Schiding should be the pole vault coach of the season! The Missouri Southern girls took the top four spots in the MIAA yesterday! When you take a high school senior that cleared 10-6 in high school and get her to clear 12-3.5 for the conference championship her freshman year, you're doing some great coaching! Sorry but this is one proud father this morning in Joplin! Love you Mel!!!
